Marriage is an economic contract between a man and a woman. Men and women are supposed to sign an agreement to be faithful and to stay together and violation of that is seen as a breach of contract and therefore bad.

I think it's quite a bit more than a neutral economic contract - it's also often as a sexual contract, which is reflected in the long history of maritalremoved being lawful and a number of states still having special provisions around martialremoved. The breach of contract description is probably more accurate for men, but when you look at the different responses to women cheating (or the justification of men cheating, see above for bodily ownership of the woman dimensions), it's worse than that.

In marriage, the man is expected to make money to support the woman and the woman is expected to clean up the home, take care of the children, cook, and shop.

Increasing there is an expectation that women will continue to work and their professional careers (without a reduction in domestic labour)

no gender (asexual people)

Think they meant agender here, surely?

Didn't finish it, will return and post again later
